While I wished the author had been even MORE thorough on how the average person can help the environment (I admit I really wanted a checklist, sort of a "Don't think you can make a difference? Here's HOW you can make a HUGE difference" list) he did give several good tips on how the everyday person can make a difference towards helping our environment. And he freely admits that most people aren't going to make radical alterations in their lifestyle, so the tips he gives aren't crazy, out-there, "live in a hut and only eat nuts" kind of tips. Plus while he spells out how serious the problems with the environment are, he's still optimistic, that it IS within our ability to change things, right now. Plus it's a short book, and a very easy read.

I just thought it took itself a little too seriously. I mean it's a romance novel with vampires, it's not going to be some great drama. The language seemed very stilted to me, and I just couldn't develop any feeling for the characters. I know this book is popular and I've nothing against anybody who likes it, it's just not for me.

This would be a perfectly good book if you didn't hold it up to Matt Wagner's work in the series. Once you do that, the artwork by the collected artists just falls a little flat, and I wouldn't say it's Matt's best writing either.

Fantastic, futuristic, violent...an excellent story with beautiful artwork. Matt Wagner at his best. Be prepared though, it is NOT a happy story, and if graphic scenes blood, gore, mutilation, and torture aren't your thing, you may have to skip around a bit.

Hysterical, depressing, optimistic, and shocking, and all completely true. Alexander Masters writes the true story (backwards) of Stuart, a homeless man living in England. He admits that there's no way to predict what's going to push a human being to the outside of society, but he certainly paints a picture of what COULD do it, and how even the dregs of society can sometimes have a strange nobility.
